So great waa the scaroily of iron and coal, that the works there were) being suspended. Coal was enormously high.

NEWS FROM ALL QUA RTKRS. , Ffler the battle of Mill Spring, when our regimental bands playsd "Hail Columbia," the "Star Spangled Banner," and other national airs, tears started to the eyes of many of the rebel prisoners at these well-remembered strains, and they deolared, with choking utterances, that though they were, many of them, compelled to fight against ths Union, they loved the old flag slill, and were proud of its past glories and associations. The Paris correspondent of Ihe N. Y. Commercial Advertissr says: "An immense confidence has grown up here, as well among Europeans as among Americana residing abroad, In the statesmanship and administrability of Mr. Lincoln; a oonfldenoe which is even shared by Sout herners, who ara foroed now, when too late, to admit his honesty and straightforward but cautious statesmanship." We learn from Hatleras that loyal blaoks from North Carolina helped to man ths fleet of Flag Ofiioer Goldsborough, and lo serve the guns whioh havs sunk Ly noil's boats, and compelled the surrender of Roanoke Island. The navy, although a large proportion of its highest officers ars from ths slavs States, has not boon in Ibe habit of examining a seaman's complexion bet'ois shipping him. "Can you fight?" is ths only question. Experience has shown that negroes may be excellent naval artillerists, and there ia no reason to doubt that thsy oan also load anil Arc arms on shore.

A large mass of rebel soldiers have undoubtedly bsen removed from Manassas, lo strengthen ths Confederals generals In the West, so that ihey oaa overpower, by euperior numbers, ths armlos of General Halleok and BuelL But the military authorities at Washington will, no doubt, counteract the rebel schemes, by speedily reinforcing our generals in the threatened quarter, and thereby prevent them from being overpowered by a superior foroe. i Secretary Blanton is stlil confined lo bis lodgings, but his indisposition being the result of ssvere meetly and physical labor, his physicians say a few days' rent is ait Ibat is need ed in order to restore him logood health.

GIDEON WELLES, Seoretary of tho Navy. . Flag Officer A. H. Foote, U. S. N , commanding the United States naval forces, fsirc, 111. . (Qommaoloited.) ' ' HtHte Finances. bo. tv. ' In refieoting upon the most useful mode of presenting the remainder or my extensive sub- jeel, it has become evident to my mind thai your readers for whom 1 wine, would best anpreci ate and be most interested in it, if presented in Its several parts. In that form every one oan f-rm a judgment of the oorreclness of my faults, and tbs soundness of my deductions. With that view I will first lako up the subjeet of sheep. With the sheep there always looms up hard by In the piolure that domesticated wolf, the dog. No one will deny that the sheep for ils fleeoe and its flesh is of great impor tance in national eoonomy, but very few comprehend Ihe magnitude of the imparlance. Nor will any deny the adaptation of the soil and climate of Ohio to rearing them. Tho State from its first organization has never been with out laws giving liberal rewards for destroying wolves, and annual appropriations are made to pay for their soalps, yet worthless dogs ara permitted to prey upon our flocks with perfcot im- E unity. Whilst I cannot fiud that a slnglesheep sb been killed by wolves In tho State in the last five years, 1 find from official records, that in two years, 1808 and 1SG0, there were 03,317 sheep killed by dogs and 66,412 injured. The whole loss was estimated at $233,653 95, or an average ef $110,777 per annum. There is no reason to suppose the destruction in those years was greater than the average for the last len years. This would give a loss in ten years Irom dogs of $1 107,770. The number of sheep now In Ihe State is little more than in 1818, and less than in 1864, whilst horses, cattle and hogs have nearly doubled in numbers sinos 181ft, and far more than doubled In vslue by attention to Improved breeds. The destruction by dogs is grsatly aesigued as a principil cause of Ike dcoline of inlorost in this valuable stook. The want of means for manufacturing lbs tleeoes lu alan undoubtedly exortfd a sinister infln- Co.ce. .Both oauees are fairly chargeable to the' supiaenoss of government in not protecting property, one of the principal purposes of its institution. The S'ate contain 25,670,900 aores of land, and 3,048,436 sheep, or one sheep to eix and a hair acres of land nearly. The fleeces at two and bnlf poundsioh and 30ots. to the pound amount lo $4,067,677. Manufactured into a fair proportion of fabrics, mixed and unmixed, how many square yards of goods would Ihey make, and what would ihey be worth, at average prices for th last ten years, when ready for market Th lieeoe will weigh 9,868,690 pounds. I will assume that, taking nroDorlionaef fabrics, it will require one pound of fleece wool lo make a square yard of woolen and ootton, and woolen goods. The population bolng 2,600,000, this would gir nearly four yards lo each individual, is thai sufficient lo supply a reasonable quantity for the uss of ths population? I think it will rs-qulrs six yards, or 15,000,000 yarde.. That wouldrequireO,000,000 sheop. This gives 7,600 tons of wool. For want of manufaolurcr this wool is to be sent abroad to be manufactured The large part of th cost of export and th. import of .the product, and all Ihe enhanced value put upon it in Ihe process of manufacturing beoomee foreign debt, that is psyabls out ' of the State. A full and careful estimate will show that Ihs wool is but a small part of th. amount to be paid for the goods whsn brought Into the mat ket. TbeahMp pay about $230,000 taxes. Shall Ihey at least bs protected sgainst dogs if no more. They must be but how? Two mode presents themselves to my mind. Oue is by I iw to affix a uniform and speoiflo value to such dog, young cr old, msstiff, mongrel, hound of low degree, say $100, cot them in the tax dur.ll. oaie at that and tax them as olher properly on that amount. I do not anticipate deriving much tax from dogs, but I would anticipate a great mortality auiongat the dogs and a greater safety for eheep. I am aware or some difficulties. Dogs would live, kill sheep and neither Ihe tax nor compeusatioa could be oollected. I would prefer declaring tho race a nuisance, and making it an offence finable in fir. dolla-a to own cr harbor one, and upon a second con- notion tn dog to 0 Billed and the owner - harborer lo be Imprisoned a week at least. I see no difficulty in that. Other nuisanoes are abated, and 1 am sure there is no other oooostly In th Stale. . . ' STATISTICUS. . The Blockade. The London Daily Newe. in an articla admit. ling the efficiency of our blookade of the Southern ports, and denouncing any intsrfereaoe wiin it, remarxs: But the Government and people of England have no desire to oommlt so gross a blunder and so glaring an offense. Blockade of any enemy's ports has, time out or mind, been a recognized measure of war. We have ourselves used it without stint or scruple whenever wa have had occasion; and so has every maritime power in ihe civilized world when etrong enough lo do so. In ihs ryes of philsnthopie statesmen and jurists it may have gone out of i.vur; ana wnenever, oy common oonsent, it shall be limited or laid aside, we shall be glad. But in the midst of its praotical and effective operation by any particular power against ils enemy, lo interpose by foroe, or threats of foroe, on the whole ground of its inconvenience lo third parties, would be as lawleses and ruthless a violation of the comity of nations as ever was perpetratod in the spirit of sordid gain or insolent aggression. There are, we know, certain mean and mischievous persons among us who for their own purposes would slill attempt lo bullr our Guv. ernmont into ths commission of suoh a crime. Some are at heart accomplices in the plot to set up a slave-trading Commonwealth In the South. ' Some arc animated by politioal balred of popu- lar institutions of the North. Some are gam blers in the ootton mnrl'ct; sod some are gambling speculators in tb.ua ud freight on a large scale. But though greedy and unacrnnn. lous schemers arc active and impudent, reckless and low, they will uot be able lo push the Par liament or lire peop'e ot iioglatid into the aban donment of national honor ni.d international faith for their advantage. T tore is no sreoe- dent or example that oould justify our interference openly on behalf of the eeceding Stales; snd while Ihs blockade is maintained effectively, according, not to any impracticable ideal, but to the usage of war, there would be as little Justi fication for our interfering indirectly and by subterfuge in their favor. Extraordinary Proceedings The Mystery ol Iniquity In uashlugton. The following exlraois from the editorial columns and correspondence of the New Yoik Times of Wednesday morning demand atten tion and investigation. We forbear remaik upon th statements there made,' heoeuee, If 1 they are true, Ihe administration cannot be o forgetful of its duly to the nation ae to let such mischievous acts pass unrebuked; and if Ihey are false, it Is due to General McClellsn that his should at once be shown on the authority of his superior, the Seoretary of War. The Washington correspondent of the New York limes, who writes under the signature of "York," says to that paper, under date of "Mon-day night, February 10ih," as follows: " "Your correspondent prepared a despatch lsst evening in regard lo Stone s arrest, and handed it in at tne leiegrapn umoe about six o clock. At a later hour, fearing that the government oeneor would euppres9 it, (for it is a point to suppress everything of peoulisr interest that we wisn lo seno,; inquiry was maae, ana tne faot learned that it wae suppressed, 'by i rder,' Your oorrespendent went immediately to the Seoretary of State to obtain leave I send it. Mr. Seward did not see any impropriety in its going, and had not silenced the telegraph on the , subject indeed he did not even know that Stoue waa arrested. - Application waa next made at Gen. MoClellau's headquarters, and the faot learaed that an order had gone from that office not to let any despatch be sent an-nounoiug the arrest. An effort was made lose-Gen. MoUlellan. He was sick in bed, with two physicians at his side, and . not in a oondition to oonaider such matters. "It was ascertained, however, that Adjutant-General Thomas was the one who had gone to General MoClellsn, and, by representations, . obtained permission to embargo the wires. Seoretary . Stanton was next sought at bis house; but, lale as it was now about ten oolcck he waa found at hi office. He expreesed much indignation at finding that any suhordin- ate, without his orders, had meddled with tho telegraphing. He declared that he had done nothing he wa ashamed to have known, and ' that reporters might fnnounoe Stone's arrest in-whatever mode they pleased. These were 'fine words,' but, aooording to an old adage, Ihey . 'huftLared no rjarsnins.' for tho reaueat for n . note to the telegraph operator, conveying the sentiment he bad expressed, was politely de clined. And so, at eleven o'olook, we gave up ll effort to telegraph, and Adjutant-General Thomas ruled the wire lor me mini. wr. Stanton 1 a progressive man, however, and be Promised to 'look into' ths censorship nuisance, and we hope be will." In an editorial artioie on tne arrest oi uen. Stone, in Ihe lame paper, from which we out the foregoing extraot, we una tne rouowing passage: . - -: j "And, while referring to this subject, there is . another whioh auggeste an inquiry proper to be mad by the eommlltco investigating the telegraphic censorship. The correspondents of ' tho Times, and, of course, other promlnet journals, bavo found it impossible, ever sinoe the affair at Edward's Ferry, to pass a word over the wires refieoting upon the character and soldiership of Gen. Stone. The pen of the oen eor has blotted ruthlessly every eiprraeion u-tuitting of an interpretation unfavorable to either. Ths faot was the more remarkable boot use no suoh delloaoy was observed toward other military offioers, who, like Gen. Fremont, osine in for every form of oeusnrc and on- friendly Insinuation, without the censor finding anything to eraee." . , . ' Pbotiobrce. It ia a tavorit remark of es-oesh that Providence is against Ihe federal cause,- beoause so great a storm overtook the expedition of Burnside. If their blindness of hsartdid not prevent their discovering the signs of the times, a reverse decision would have been arrived at by them. When Ihe w- l'ulnrss of Ihs slorm Is oousldered, and the im. minent dangor to which some 25,000 Ic 80,000 souls (lacludiug Ihe naval and military, and Ihe crews of Ihe transport) H would seem like a epsolal aot of Providence that all were saved, except Col. Allen and two others, and these were going on a mission of mercy, from one boat lo another, to obtain help for their suffering companions. It seems almost like a miracle of meroy that ao groat an escape was made. Ballimari Ctipinr 1'

NEWS FROM ALL QUA RTKRS. , Ffler the battle of Mill Spring, when our regimental bands playsd "Hail Columbia," the "Star Spangled Banner," and other national airs, tears started to the eyes of many of the rebel prisoners at these well-remembered strains, and they deolared, with choking utterances, that though they were, many of them, compelled to fight against ths Union, they loved the old flag slill, and were proud of its past glories and associations. The Paris correspondent of Ihe N. Y. Commercial Advertissr says: "An immense confidence has grown up here, as well among Europeans as among Americana residing abroad, In the statesmanship and administrability of Mr. Lincoln; a oonfldenoe which is even shared by Sout herners, who ara foroed now, when too late, to admit his honesty and straightforward but cautious statesmanship."

' In refieoting upon the most useful mode of presenting the remainder or my extensive sub- jeel, it has become evident to my mind thai your readers for whom 1 wine, would best anpreci ate and be most interested in it, if presented in Its several parts. In that form every one oan f-rm a judgment of the oorreclness of my faults, and tbs soundness of my deductions. With that view I will first lako up the subjeet of sheep. With the sheep there always looms up hard by In the piolure that domesticated wolf, the dog. No one will deny that the sheep for ils fleeoe and its flesh is of great impor tance in national eoonomy, but very few comprehend Ihe magnitude of the imparlance. Nor will any deny the adaptation of the soil and climate of Ohio to rearing them. Tho State from its first organization has never been with out laws giving liberal rewards for destroying wolves, and annual appropriations are made to pay for their soalps, yet worthless dogs ara permitted to prey upon our flocks with perfcot im- E unity. Whilst I cannot fiud that a slnglesheep sb been killed by wolves In tho State in the last five years, 1 find from official records, that in two years, 1808 and 1SG0, there were 03,317 sheep killed by dogs and 66,412 injured. The whole loss was estimated at $233,653 95, or an average ef $110,777 per annum. There is no reason to suppose the destruction in those years was greater than the average for the last len years. This would give a loss in ten years Irom dogs of $1 107,770. The number of sheep now In Ihe State is little more than in 1818, and less than in 1864, whilst horses, cattle and hogs have nearly doubled in numbers sinos 181ft, and far more than doubled In vslue by attention to Improved breeds. The destruction by dogs is grsatly aesigued as a principil cause of Ike dcoline of inlorost in this valuable stook. The want of means for manufacturing lbs tleeoes lu alan undoubtedly exortfd a sinister infln- Co.ce. .Both oauees are fairly chargeable to the' supiaenoss of government in not protecting property, one of the principal purposes of its institution. The S'ate contain 25,670,900 aores of land, and 3,048,436 sheep, or one sheep to eix and a hair acres of land nearly. The fleeces at two and bnlf poundsioh and 30ots. to the pound amount lo $4,067,677. Manufactured into a fair proportion of fabrics, mixed and unmixed, how many square yards of goods would Ihey make, and what would ihey be worth, at average prices for th last ten years, when ready for market Th lieeoe will weigh 9,868,690 pounds. I will assume that, taking nroDorlionaef fabrics, it will require one pound of fleece wool lo make a square yard of woolen and ootton, and woolen goods. The population bolng 2,600,000, this would gir nearly four yards lo each individual, is thai sufficient lo supply a reasonable quantity for the uss of ths population? I think it will rs-qulrs six yards, or 15,000,000 yarde.. That wouldrequireO,000,000 sheop. This gives 7,600 tons of wool. For want of manufaolurcr this wool is to be sent abroad to be manufactured The large part of th cost of export and th. import of .the product, and all Ihe enhanced value put upon it in Ihe process of manufacturing beoomee foreign debt, that is psyabls out ' of the State. A full and careful estimate will show that Ihs wool is but a small part of th. amount to be paid for the goods whsn brought Into the mat ket. TbeahMp pay about $230,000 taxes. Shall Ihey at least bs protected sgainst dogs if no more. They must be but how? Two mode presents themselves to my mind. Oue is by I iw to affix a uniform and speoiflo value to such dog, young cr old, msstiff, mongrel, hound of low degree, say $100, cot them in the tax dur.ll. oaie at that and tax them as olher properly on that amount. I do not anticipate deriving much tax from dogs, but I would anticipate a great mortality auiongat the dogs and a greater safety for eheep. I am aware or some difficulties. Dogs would live, kill sheep and neither Ihe tax nor compeusatioa could be oollected. I would prefer declaring tho race a nuisance, and making it an offence finable in fir. dolla-a to own cr harbor one, and upon a second con- notion tn dog to 0 Billed and the owner - harborer lo be Imprisoned a week at least. I see no difficulty in that. Other nuisanoes are abated, and 1 am sure there is no other oooostly In th Stale. . . ' STATISTICUS. . The Blockade.

Blockade of any enemy's ports has, time out or mind, been a recognized measure of war. We have ourselves used it without stint or scruple whenever wa have had occasion; and so has every maritime power in ihe civilized world when etrong enough lo do so. In ihs ryes of philsnthopie statesmen and jurists it may have gone out of i.vur; ana wnenever, oy common oonsent, it shall be limited or laid aside, we shall be glad. But in the midst of its praotical and effective operation by any particular power against ils enemy, lo interpose by foroe, or threats of foroe, on the whole ground of its inconvenience lo third parties, would be as lawleses and ruthless a violation of the comity of nations as ever was perpetratod in the spirit of sordid gain or insolent aggression. There are, we know, certain mean and mischievous persons among us who for their own purposes would slill attempt lo bullr our Guv. ernmont into ths commission of suoh a crime. Some are at heart accomplices in the plot to set up a slave-trading Commonwealth In the South. ' Some arc animated by politioal balred of popu- lar institutions of the North. Some are gam blers in the ootton mnrl'ct; sod some are gambling speculators in tb.ua ud freight on a large scale. But though greedy and unacrnnn. lous schemers arc active and impudent, reckless and low, they will uot be able lo push the Par liament or lire peop'e ot iioglatid into the aban donment of national honor ni.d international faith for their advantage. T tore is no sreoe- dent or example that oould justify our interference openly on behalf of the eeceding Stales; snd while Ihs blockade is maintained effectively, according, not to any impracticable ideal, but to the usage of war, there would be as little Justi fication for our interfering indirectly and by subterfuge in their favor.

The Washington correspondent of the New York limes, who writes under the signature of "York," says to that paper, under date of "Mon-day night, February 10ih," as follows: " "Your correspondent prepared a despatch lsst evening in regard lo Stone s arrest, and handed it in at tne leiegrapn umoe about six o clock.
